You have totally lost me there ... is that in response to my post?

[slartibartfast]

Can I ask why you have not removed SIL’s childish signature line?

So you blame the parents for the failure of that boy's primary school?  I asked the mother if she had raised the problem during his primary education and she said she had, but was ignored. I can relate to that as one of my children struggled. I found empty books at parent's evening and raised it with her teacher, who wasn't concerned. I went to the headmaster and insisted that my daughter was given extra help. He managed to organise it and my daughter caught up, but not all parents are confident enough to challenge the teachers as I did.

Well done, Gunit.

what is the point in providing a cite when  poster such a sil can simply say its meaningless...when it obviously isnt....nd provide nothing to support that claim...could a mod explain...it makes a mockery of the rules

Of it’s good enough for SIL it’s good enough for us.  Next time s9meone provides a cite for something you request just tell them it’s rubbish and means nothing, job done.

Well if is assessed by a moderator maybe that response will not be acceptable either.

I think a cite is only valid if it directs the reader to a specific page and point.  Like it would not be acceptable to say read the PJ files at http://www.mccannpjfiles.co.uk/PJ/TRANSLATIONS.htm.  That is not specific enough to satisfy a cite request.

I’m pretty certain that if Davel or I rubbished a cite we requested without providing any counter argument we would be reprimanded.

....it wasnt
My cite linked to a fairly short report...a single page... Did you check my cite... I'm fairly sure you didn't.... So why did you allow sil to state as, a, fact it was, meaningless ...it wasn't imo.

Did you assess sils claim that my cite was meaningless ...if not... Why not
